Jon Tester: the record Democrat
Senator, Montana. The votes below are the ones that distinguished members — close margins, decisive crossings, high stakes — selected by a published method, applied identically to every member. This page states votes and outcomes; the record almost never states motive, and neither do we.
Jon Tester is no longer in office. This record is historical.
